Dang Flabbit

I am SO good during the week, and then ruin everything I did for that week with the weekend. Darn football season! So Basically I have lost NOTHING, but I haven't gained either, so...bright side. And honestly...i haven't been the gym in a WEEK (or more). So today i am getting on that treadmill once more, hopefully will stick to my at LEAST 3 days a week self promise. Sorry this blog has been just plain boring, i have had no real weight loss progress since the begining of August...those first 10 pounds were the easiest...now its slow goings. Well, I promise you all an eventful update by next monday or shiver me timbers I'll walk the plank!

Happiness!

You thought I meant about weight didn't you? Well let me tell you something. I had a bachelorette weeekend at the beach and blew my diet away!!! Like, whoa!! But, it was sooo totally worth it! I had the best weekend! and i have the greatest friends! :D So anyways, today I feel energized, and totally jazzed to look like the hot bride I know i can be! I havent eaten a lot today, going to get some salad for dinner, (J&P was closed for the past 2 months!! AHHH it was AWFUL!!) and plan on running 3 tmies this week....

Just for some stats, i started this thing at a size 14. Now I am a 10/12. I started at 185 and now am 173. I could only run for 10 minutes, now I can run for 30. Its small steps, but seeing progress. I need to hard-core diet/exercise for the next 2 weeks to jump start me into those 160s...hopefully no more surprise alcohol/junk food weekend excursions! well, I will def take then if they come along though! hahaha

ps- this has nothing to do with weight, but Andrew and I just got a wedding gift from his parents of the Resotriation Hardware Maxwell leather couch!! The most comfortable couch ever in the history of TIME!! I am SOOOO excited to sit in my new couch with my future husband!!! YAY!!!

Biggest Loser

So last night i watched my first ever episode of Biggest Loser. That show is SO intense, and I am not really sure if a believe even a 400+ pound man can even lose 30 POUNDS in 1 WEEK. That is crazy, and how can that be healthy?? But anyways, its TV, i get it, but whether its true or not, it really shows that you can be really successful with as much effort into the dieting that you put into it. With focus and determination ANYTHING is possible, absolutely anything.
Also, i am taking a mental image of Jillian with me to the gym, so when i hit that 30 minute mark after running and feeling tired and want to stop, I will see her yelling at me calling me weak, and I am going to do it! If i could be 155 for my wedding, I think that would be the most perfect thing eevveerrr....and weighed in at 173.2 this morning...the 160s are so close i can taste it! If i can be good this next week, perhaps next wed i will be there!

90 days

90 days. Pressure is REALLY on...I am still at 175 which is why my posts have been so few....but i have to be honest...i have been going to the gym sparatically, and prob eating maintenance calories of about 2000 a day. Well that is stoping TODAY...as 90 days is not a lot of time. 3 months and hoping to lose 15 pounds.

going to the gym today to rock the cardio...30 min runing, 10 min walking about, and situps/push ups.

Hoping to enthrall everyone with an awesome update in weight next monday!

EEE GADS!

I'm Back!

It's been a week since I have posted! And in that time I absolutely did not diet or exercise. I ate whatever i wanted and i did not go to the gym. Why? I will tell you why. last week, everyday, i was feeling extreamly exhausted. Iwasn't getting a lot of sleep from waking up so early and working out so hard. I also wasn't eating the best. i was keeping my calories to a minimum...but i think my body just said "hey! can I have a vacation! its been 7 weeks!". So i did. i gave myself a vacation. i slept in in the mornings, and i ate whatever my body wanted me to eat. I didn't go crazy, but i definitely relaxed over the week.

Now, i feel great! i brought my gym clothes and plan to hit the treadmill once more after work. I want to have another 6 weeks of focus. It was great to have a little hiatus there, but i am repidly approaching the 3month mark to the wedding, so i am quickly running out of time! I am so close to the 160s, and now is NOT the time to give up.

So 6 weeks from it will be mid October...U am quite excited! So here I go, pushing it to the finish line...hoping to be in the 150s for the wedding. 15 more pounds!

motivation acceleration

It's been a while since i posted. I am sensing that with the end of summer and begining of fall I am hitting a "i have been doing this for almost 2 months and i am tired" wall. I hope I can get through it. Luckily I haven't gained any weight, but I havent lost any either. Stats as this morning:
SW:185
CW:174
Weight Lost: 11

Soooo, I really want to focus this week and really watch what I eat so that I can get rid of those pesky 5 pounds and finally make it into the 160s. I wont be able to runa t the gym this week really at all because of being so busy...but I hope to make up for it in eating right. I am not eating carbs this week, hopefully to get that fat burning going on.

In other news: I have offically gone down a size :) I started at a solid 14...which i never thought was too bad...but now that I have been losing weight I am like "WHAT!?!" i am sooo happy to be out of those clothes and back into my 12's, fitting well into all of my college clothes, short skirts and such :) I love now finally being able to have legs that I feel like I dont have to hide!

Also, I ran a mile 1/2 straight on the treadmill. My endurance is really increasing! I just hope my hiatus from running this week wont take too much of a toll on my progress :)

OK, I hope everyone else is doing OK with their diet/exercise goals. There is no time like the present!
